commentary by Bernardo Lapini da Siena
Venice, Reynaldus de Novimagio and Theodorus de Reynsburch; 6 February, 1478
collation:
a10 b8 c6 d e8 f10 g8 h i6 [?]8 k8 l-o6.8 p-s6 t10 aa8 bb-ff6 gg10, 192 ff. (of 196, lacking a1 (blank), a5&6 and gg1),
51 lines,
Gothic type,
initial spaces with guide-letters,
occasional early ink marginalia,
some water-stained, mostly in inner gutters and margins, but heavier towards end and occasionally elsewhere,

some minor spotting,

The commentary by Lapini is ‘by far the most important and influential of the early annotated editions’ (D. D. Carnicelli, ‘Bernardo Illicino and the Renaissance Commentaries on Petrarch's "Trionfi"’, Romance Philology, Vol. 23, No. 1 (August 1969)).
The printers also produced an edition of the Canzoniere shortly afterwards (30 March 1478), which is sometimes found bound with the present work.
